Preparing to migrate a federated node using the z/OS Migration Management Tool

Before you migrate a WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® Version 6.x or Version 7.x node to Version 8.0, you must create Job Control Language (JCL) jobs (CNTL and DATA datasets) that you will run on z/OS during the actual migration. You can use the z/OS Migration Management Tool to create a migration definition and upload jobs for migrating a federated node.

Before you begin
